Name: Sarah Taylor
Class: 2007

Name: Jenn Hare
Class: 2009
Hometown: Middlebury, VT
Major: Bitchin’ and Moanin’
Personal: A Taurus with a lame sense of humor, Jenn has no knowledge of birds, yet aspires to be an ornithologist. Jenn made a name for herself in the children’s circus in Moscow as a sword-swallower. Her vocal chords swelled with all the swallowing, so she went into solitary confinement for 5 years so that they might heal properly. When she came out, she had grown a beard. Seeing the beard, she began to cry, and when her tears touched the bristly whiskers, they turned into the Oxford Blues. Jenn is currently in an insane asylum.

 

Name: Cecily Moyer
Class: 2009
Hometown: Princeton, New Jersey

Name: Steph Pickering
Class: 2009
Hometown: Medfield, Massachusetts
Major: Undeclared, Pre-med
Personal: Steph Pickering. What is there to say about Steph Pickering? For starters, she won American Idol. She also cooks up a mean paella. Furthermore, it is unwise to look her directly in the eyes. They’re devil’s eyes.

 

Name: Abby Wacker
Class: 2010
Hometown: Chevy Chase, MD????????????
Major: She’s only a freshman. STOP PRESSURING HER.
Personal: With a name like Abby Wacker, Abby has never known the joys of a nickname. Her name just doesn’t lend itself to that sort of thing. Abby has not let this handicap stand in her way, and has gone through all her life nicknameless, but happy. Goddamn you, she is happy.
